The view from Dal Briganteâs terraces is spectacular even at night and the service and food are fantastic. We arrived late after a day trip to Florence and the gracious owner was not concerned. We had simple pasta dishes that were cooked to perfection. Service was quick and very friendly. I would definitely recommend finding this restaurant.

Was in the area, and was looking for something to share with fellow "tourists" off the beaten track, and leaning towards the more pure local environment/ savors and tastes.. and thought I would give it a try! well... arrived and it was full.. so was ready for a sorry we are full, and bye bye. instead, was invited to wait 15 minutes, which I thought well why not....After 5 mins only, we were shown to a table, and menu was given... yes it is local as basic Italian is helpful, though not necessary.. it was busy but service was efficient, and timing between dishes, put perfect for a more relaxed lunch Italian style. Pasta dishes. well no comment, an array to pick all with definite local tastes, with a no frills portion, and could not "not" finish...., and the house red wine...(I recommend) help us along. we ordered steak grilled , and I had wild boar, and a mix grill plate, and had to try them all--- boar and steak excelled! greens and accompanying dishes (not order to many!!! as you have to leave some space for desert) Desert to finish off. overall I can say top marks, yes a no frill restaurant, filled with from what I could see locals, government officials, and truck drivers, and.-... yes us in minority "tourists".. a mix that could only determine a good result, well It was in fact more than good! and the price paid I would determine it as more that balanced for what we ate and its quality and service. So do try it! but it is not the Hilton!!! so don't come if you expect to be treated as a tourist, here you are just a customer, a valued customer at that! treated as a local! and pay like a local, what else could one want! I can do without the tourist shenanigans, this restaurant in on my return to list! Local ambiance, local food, but I give it a generous 5 star. I have great difficulty is seeing how one could not be more that happy here... we were and I will return!

We literally stumbled upon this after having escaped San Gimignano, too crowded and surprisingly full of cheap street vendors. This place is just outside Casole, at the bottom of the hill, on your left as you approach. Don't be put of by the vast hall; beyond it is a terrace with a spectacular view. The food too was superb and rather sophisticated. We loved it and so did our ten-year old, who really enjoyed the herbs garden. Corteous staff, great toilets, competent chef.

Very family friendly restaurant full of families with young children. Warm smiling service and good food: Trippa delicious. Seppia in Claypot was interesting. Fillet al tartufo and Grilled lamb were good. The pastas were amazing - Tagliatelle al tartufo and Parpadelle with cacio e Pepe- excellent! The Pigeon could be better.

Our first night in Montiguidi so myself and my girlfriend thought we would give this place a try as it is walking distance from our villa! The menu was in Italian with no english translation however the waitress spoke very good english and was more than happy to help. I ended up ordering two fillet steaks cooked to how we like topped with green salad leaves and Parmigiano-Reggiano, I also ordered a side serving of deep fried vegetables and a glass of red wine.The steaks came out with no fries or sauces as I would normally expect in the UK. Literally just the steak on a plate that had been lightly seasoned. This was such a nice thing to see, it allows you to really get a flavour of the steak rather than it being masked by your standard peppercorn sauce. This steak was by far one of the best I've ever eaten, very well cooked to my liking (medium rare) and just falls apart in your mouth. The deep fried vegetables was also a first for me. They were very nice too, ill be attempting to make them when I get back home. We both liked the restaurant very much. Nice atmosphere and great service, ill definitely be eating here again before we leave!

This great cafe is located in a quaint little village in Casole di Elsa. The pasta dishes were so good and fresh that we had lunch there twice during the week we spent in Tuscany. I had the Tagliatelle Bolognese and my husband had the ravioli. The food was delicious and service was good. Great little spot - you can sit outside and observe all the activity in the village. Highly recommend.

Whilst staying in the area we visited this place three times and we had been in previous years.Eating outside in the lovely street is a wonderful setting and typically Italian.The owner is very welcoming but it is the food which makes visitors flock here .Nothing fancy just simple honest Tuscan cuisine at its best . Try zucchini, the pasta dishes and the wild boar stew. Puddings are great too. Good local wines .A must visit if in the area but be sure to book .Canât wait to return.

DESCRIZIONE IN ITALIANO:Ritorno alle origini. Lo stretto rapporto di scambio iniziato tanti anni fa, tra la lentezza del borgo medievale e la vivacità della passione per il nostro lavoro, ci ha riportati ad essere presenza quotidiana nel nostro Ristorante
Reviewed By Kelly O
The restaurant itself is a little odd but we chose to sit outside around the back of the restaurant. The garden is beautiful with flowers and a canopy and we have a beautiful view of the setting sun. The staff were all very pleasant. Unfortunateky the food was rather odd. Odd combinations of pastries and sauces with overly elaborate garnishes. I think it was mostly reheated and it lacked much flavour. I asked for gluten free options (using language cards to make sure I was totally understood) and was recommended the asparagus gratin. This turned out to be asparagus topped with melted cheese. Not a very nice meal but lovely place to go and sit with drinks.

You can sit outside and marvel at how the traffic, including long buses, manges the tight streets and corners. We had coffee and ice -cream - they have some interesting creations, even if a bit pricy. Toilets were very pleasant.
